The built environment is where most of us spend our lives, and related industries constitute an enormous part of the global economy. In this master’s programme, you will investigate issues related to manmade structures and buildings, contributing to a more sustainable and resource-efficient society. Investigating structural systems and complex buildings requires a deep and intuitive understanding of their properties, as well as the ability to cooperate, take charge of diverse projects and communicate effectively in international environments. Studying this programme will give you these very tools, allowing you to meet the demands of this fast-paced, challenging and changing industry.


Structural engineering and building technology master's programme​ at Chalmers


The built environment is fundamental for everyday life and comfort. It is also essential for the global economy. In this master’s programme, you will handle issues related to structures and buildings and work towards developing a more sustainable and resource-efficient society.


Today, and in the future, the engineering skills to model, analyse, and design structural systems and complex buildings need to be based on a deep and intuitive understanding of the physical and mechanical behaviour of structural elements and systems.

To work in the industry, you will need to have an understanding of the field, and the ability to cooperate with others, lead various projects and communicate in an international environment. This civil engineering master’s programme is designed to give you the tools to meet these demands.


You will strive towards a more sustainable, resource-efficient society by working with new construction, and operation and maintenance of a considerable stock of buildings, bridges and other civil engineering structures.


The master's programme in Structural engineering and building technology is strongly influenced by current research activities at Chalmers and has the ambition to renew engineering methodology in the practice by well-educated students. The research groups behind the programme have close contact with relevant fields in the building industry, preliminary in design and maintenance.


The programme has been developed in cooperation with industry representatives from leading Swedish companies, the practising engineers from these companies contribute to the programme as guest lecturers and supervisors for project work. Furthermore, every year a significant number of master’s projects are related to development work within the industry and are carried out within the companies we collaborate with.
